Cao Tieshu didn't answer Xia Ruofei's question. Instead, he said worriedly, "Boss, you … you beat up Chen Gang. This is quite troublesome …"
The other villagers in the ward also chimed in.
"Yeah, Boss Xia. Chen Gang is the son of Chen Jinbo, the boss of the abalone farm in the county. He has a lot of power in the county!"
"Chen Jinbo is also a member of the county's political association. He knows a lot of big shots …"
"Boss Xia, quickly think of a way to settle this …"
"Stop, stop, stop!" Xia Ruofei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I have my ways. You don't have to worry about me. Even if the sky is falling down, you have to let me know what happened, right?"
Cao Tieshu glared at his wife on the bed and said, "It's all because of this woman! Why did she have to join in the fun? What's so good about the temple fair? Now that she's caused such a big trouble … "
Cao Tieshu's wife said with grievance, "I didn't know this would happen! There are at least a few thousand people at the temple fair. Why didn't they get involved in this? Why am I so unlucky? "
"How dare you talk back!" Cao Tieshu glared at her.
Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly and said, "Old Cao, it's already happened. What's the use of blaming your wife? What the hell happened? I'm still confused! "
Cao Tieshu sighed and told Xia Ruofei the whole story.
It turned out that Cao Tieshu's wife and a few villagers had agreed to go to the county's temple fair together. Not long after they entered the county, a big wolfdog suddenly rushed out near the Western District Police Station. Cao Tieshu's wife was so scared that she fell off her bicycle and hit a stone on the curb. Her tibia was fractured on the spot.
The big wolfdog was still aggressively pouncing on Cao Tieshu's wife. Her leg was fractured and she couldn't run, so there were a few scratches on her face.
The villagers who were also going to the temple fair rushed forward to chase the wolfdog away, but the dog seemed to have gone crazy. The situation was urgent. If the mad dog was allowed to go crazy, Cao Tieshu's wife might lose her life.
One of the villagers happened to have a hoe on his tricycle, so he raised the hoe to hit the dog.
At that time, the situation was chaotic, and they couldn't remember the details. They only remembered that they hit the dog a few times. Perhaps one of them hit a vital point, and the dog was killed on the spot.
At this time, Cao Tieshu's wife's broken bones were swollen and bleeding. The villagers didn't have time to ask the dog's owner to pay for the medical expenses. They hurriedly sent Cao Tieshu's wife to the hospital and asked her to call Cao Tieshu.
The money for the emergency treatment and hospitalization was pooled together by the villagers.
Unexpectedly, not long after Cao Tieshu arrived at the inpatient department, Chen Gang came looking for him with a few auxiliary police officers.
Only then did everyone realize that the dog belonged to Chen Gang.
Chen Gang's family owned the largest abalone farm in the county. His father, Chen Jinbo, was also a member of the county's political association. He was considered a well-known local private entrepreneur.
Chen Gang had been mischievous since he was young, and his grades were terrible. After graduating from high school, he used his family's connections to get him to work as an auxiliary police officer in the Western District Police Station.
Relying on his family's power and his police uniform, Chen Gang was even more arrogant and despotic. Everyone in the surrounding villages knew of his bad reputation.
The dog was raised by Chen Jinbo in the abalone farm, and Chen Gang often brought it to the police station.
Today, for some reason, it ran out of the police station. Chen Gang, who was on duty today, was playing cards with a few friends in the office. He didn't know at all.
After the dog ran out, it ran toward Cao Tieshu's wife. In the end, it was accidentally killed by the villagers, and Chen Gang didn't know either.
Later, Chen Gang's acquaintances recognized that it was his dog, and hurriedly ran to the police station to report.
When Chen Gang saw his beloved dog's corpse on the spot, he immediately exploded and brought a few auxiliary police officers to ask around.
This road was crowded, and many people saw what happened. Therefore, Chen Gang and the others quickly found the hospital.
When they met, not only did Chen Gang not apologize for his dog's injury, but he also asked Cao Tieshu to compensate for the dog. Moreover, he asked for fifty thousand yuan.
Cao Tieshu was furious that his wife was involved in such a thing on the first day of Chinese New Year! Therefore, the two sides quickly quarreled, and then Xia Ruofei arrived.
Cao Tieshu angrily said, "I've long heard that the Chen family is overbearing. Today, I've seen it for myself …"
"Sigh! Tieshu, how can we, as ordinary people, fight with them! " An older villager sighed. "I think you should take sister-in-law out of the hospital and find a place to hide! Also, Boss Xia, you should think of a way. If you can't, you can hide for a few days … "
The others also tried to persuade him.
"Yeah! We can't afford to offend the Chen family! "
"Boss Xia, a wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. Let's hide …"
After listening to Cao Tieshu's explanation, Xia Ruofei frowned. Although it was only a few words, he could hear how arrogant and despotic Chen Gang was. Moreover, the villagers were all so afraid. It was obvious how powerful the Chen family was in Changping County.
Today, Chen Gang's behavior was simply lawless!
Xia Ruofei wasn't a busybody, but today's incident happened to his own farm workers. He had to intervene.
With that in mind, Xia Ruofei said to Cao Tieshu and the villagers, "Old Cao, sister-in-law, fellow villagers, don't worry! I'll take care of this matter properly. Sister-in-law's condition isn't good for her to get out of bed. You just stay here and recover. Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to touch a hair on your head! "
"Boss Xia, Chen Jinbo has a good relationship with some of the county's leaders. You …" The older villager said hesitantly.
Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said, "No matter how strong the power is, it can't be stronger than the law. No matter how strong the power is, it can't be stronger than the organization! Don't worry! "
The older villager looked at Xia Ruofei. To put it nicely, this young man was like a newborn calf that wasn't afraid of a tiger. To put it bluntly, he was a little naive.
Chen Jinbo had been powerful in Changping County for more than ten years. He had many connections. How could a young man like Chen Jinbo, who only had a small farm in the village, fight against such a big figure?
Seeing this, the other villagers also wanted to persuade Xia Ruofei.
However, after hearing Xia Ruofei's words, Cao Tieshu said firmly, "Boss, since you've said so, I'll listen to you. We won't go anywhere. We'll stay in this hospital and recover. I don't believe that the Chen family is stronger than the law! "
Xia Ruofei nodded approvingly.
Seeing that Cao Tieshu had such an attitude, the other villagers didn't try to persuade him anymore. After saying a few words of comfort, they left one after another. They were also afraid of getting into trouble. Although Chen Gang had identified Cao Tieshu's family, they were the ones who killed the dog together.
After the villagers left, Xia Ruofei saw that Cao Tieshu's wife was still worried. He smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. I'll call someone. Don't worry, I know a few people who are above me. "
"Boss Xia, then hurry up and find someone above you to settle this matter …" Cao Tieshu's wife said quickly.
The villagers didn't know much, but after hearing Xia Ruofei say that she had someone above her, she seemed to feel more at ease.
"Boss, I'm so sorry! I didn't expect you to be involved in this matter … "Cao Tieshu said apologetically.
"Old Cao, don't say such things!" Xia Ruofei said. "If I didn't know about this matter, then it would have been fine. Now that I know, I have to take care of it. You are an employee of our company, and a backbone of the middle management. The company must take care of your family's matters!"
Cao Tieshu looked touched and said, "Thank you, boss!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. He reached out and patted Cao Tieshu's shoulder. Then, he took out his phone and walked to the corridor outside the ward.
For the matter in Changping County, the most effective way to deal with it was to find the new official, Wu Liqian. If Wu Liqian couldn't handle it herself, she would naturally ask her old superior, Tian Huilan.
However, the possibility of this was very low. If a local boss could make Wu Liqian, the executive deputy county magistrate, helpless, then she wasn't worthy of Tian Huilan's trust and responsibility.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei took out his phone and dialed Wu Liqian's number.
